...so what do you use instead?

No, really, what browser can you use where none of the influential developers involved is some kind of asshole and/or ultracapitalist? Chrome? If Chrome is off the table, wouldn't that "infect" all the Chromium-based browsers? Firefox is out for the same reasons Brave is, I guess, due to the same guy.

Where is the line drawn? At what point does any software become okay to use? Linus Torvalds used to be a real cunt, though I've heard his attitude towards us mortals has improved over the last decade or so. Does that mean I can use Linux on Thursdays now?

This purity testing is stupid because you readily use a bunch of random crap where you have no idea how bigoted or not the creators are. It is literally impossible to vet everything. I don't use Brave, but it has nothing to do with this random C-level asshole. Being some kind of asshole is a requirement for a C-level position anyway, so let's not pretend like Mitchell Baker is a saint or that Sundar Pichai walks on water. It's all the same mush.

In the end, I care if the software is good. Firefox serves my needs just fine, so that's what I use most of the time. Not as a political stance, but because I'm comfortable with the software. I bet at least 18 people involved secretly hate cats. Oh no, that means my purity is compromised. Oooof Nooooof!

"No, Vaas, that's the definition of practice."

...well, I do that, and enjoy it, so I guess that's why I feel like an impostor that has my hobby for a job. "If they figure out how much I enjoy doing this, they'll cut my pay..."

The real question is if they have sugar in their porridge.

There is a "Not from a Jedi" joke in here somewhere. I can feel it.

The comments are not for what, they are for why.

The documentation is a summary of the code, a quick guide to the software to more easily find your way to what you need to work with.

Are you saying that when you work with some random library, you skip their documentation and go directly to the source code? That's absurd. If you do it that way, you're wasting so much time!

"Water accused of being wet in lawsuit" next, I guess.

It's just some Sales Optimization Consultant trying to justify their existence. Leave them be, they have their own problems.

Makes me want to learn how to say "Go fuck yourself" in a Native American language.
